Hello friends I'm new to this so please have some patience, I want to make a conversation with a character inside the game but I keep getting errors like this
this is what I'm typing

Code: ags

 function jannyman_Talk()
{
jannyman.Start(); 
} 

this is what I'm getting

Code: ags

 GlobalScript.asc(443): Error (line 443): '.start' is not a public member of 'Character'. Are you sure you spelt it correctly (remember, capital letters are important)? 

the name is spelled correctly, this also happens if I replace "start" with "walk"
Also, does anyone have a copy of the manual? that'll be greatly appreciated.
I appreciate your help
